A review by tehanuburningsoul
Very Far Away from Anywhere Else by Ursula K. Le Guin

5.0

As always Ursula le Guin did not disappoint me. My high expectations for this book that I wanted to read for such a long time have been met and more so in her work she surpassed them.
The story is short and concise and yet filled to the brim with wisdom and kind guidance. I found the story so very relatable, touching, therapeutic even, I found it to be a consolation.
Looking out through the dark green bars of the small balcony but feeling the warm touch of sun on my brow, unchanged regardless of the intense and scary circumstances of the lockdown. Owen's story reminds me what is important, gives me focus and perspective on my own life.
Gives me hope, since all that I am experiencing right now is only one nest that I have built from what I have found and soon enough once it becomes worn out I will move on to another, or learn to take care of it.
